State Police are looking for the driver of a tractor-trailer truck that sideswipped a trooper’s cruiser on I-95 early Tuesday morning.

After hitting the 2011 Ford Crown Victoria cruiser, the truck driver did not stop and continued south on I-95.

The trooper, identified as Charles Workman, 33, had a “suspected minor” injury, according the accident report. He was taken to Lawrence + Memorial Hospital in New London.

The cruiser was parked on the right shoulder of I-95 in the town of Waterford along the eastern Connecticut shoreline.

The accident happened at 4:13 a.m. when “a tractor-trailer drifted off the right shoulder and sideswipped the state police cruiser and continued south on I-95 without stopping.”

The rear, driver’s side of the cruiser was damaged from the collision. It had to be towed from the scene. The report said the cruiser’s air bag was not deployed.

If anyone has any information, contact Troop E in Montville ay (860) 848-6500. It is being investigated by Sgt. Greg W. Smith.
